Cisco announced that the Al-Hammadi Development and Investment Company, the parent company for Al-Hammadi Hospitals, has signed an agreement with Cisco and Wipro to launch three smart and connected hospitals leveraging latest technologies in the medical grade infrastructure.

Al-Hammadi partnered with Cisco and Wipro to deliver capabilities such as private health cloud, optimized clinical workflow solutions, and solutions that will increase the quality of care while transforming the experience of patients and medical staff.

Solutions such as Cisco’s latest end-to-end networking and security solutions; Cisco’s virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and Wipro’s hospital information system (HIS) cloud-enabled application in three of its hospitals in the Kingdom are part of a SR90 million commitment to offer premium health care services.

The health care industry is currently going through a major transformation, with all segments of the industry worldwide being challenged to improve productivity and the overall quality of patient care, and at the same time reduce the cost structure.

With its 27-year heritage, the Al-Hammadi Hospital in Riyadh is claimed to have already achieved and gained a very good reputation throughout the Kingdom for delivering excellent medical services and always upgrading its facilities to deliver state-of-the-art health care across the board. It has focused on an overarching goal to constantly improve the quality of patient care in the most effective and cost-efficient manner.
